Difco™ Malt Extract Broth is a complete microbiological media for the cultivation of yeasts and molds. Difco™ Malt Extract Broth contains malt extract, which provides the carbon, nitrogen, and nutrient sources required for growth of microorganisms.

• Contains malt extract
• Recommended for yeasts and molds in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Bacteriological Analytical Manual

The broth also has a high concentration of carbohydrates, such as maltose and dextrose, as an energy source required for fermentation by yeasts and molds. Yeast extract provides additional nitrogen, carbon, vitamins, and cofactors required for growth. The acidic pH of Difco™ Malt Extract Broth promotes optimal growth of yeasts and molds while restricting bacterial growth.
